Just to say that I'm snug at work and smug about a 15min walk door-to-door (ok, 20min today, what with treacherous pavements). Two out of four of my team also made it in.

It's understandable why London would be less prepared for 20cm of overnight snowfall than, say, my German hometown. After all, we had conditions like this every winter, or nearly, throughout my childhood. But it's still impressive: half of the Tubes were fully suspended in the morning (they're coming back), NO bus at all, no road at all looks as if it was cleared. Not sure if anyone hear even has the heavy clearing equipment you need in these circumstances.

It's great for the kids, though: schools are closed, so suddenly they're discovering the joys of snowball fights (one was going on right outside our living room window when I had breakfast, and I dodged 2 more on my way) and snowman construction.
